Golden Monkey is home to the Melbourne Chapter of the International Rum Club, a casual gathering where Melbourne’s finest rum aficionados, industry professionals and tiki geeks meet to discuss and savour all things rum.
Held on the first Monday of each month, special guests are invited to speak on the history, distillation processes and flavours of various rums. During each session, Rum Club members are provided with complimentary tastings of special and previously unreleased rums, complimentary cocktails upon arrival, complimentary Asian tapas, giveaways, and discounted drinks all night.
Each year members are also invited to the legendary “Shipwrecked” end-of-year party, where Golden Monkey is transformed into a mysterious secret island.
Membership of The Melbourne Rum Club is open to anyone with even the mildest interest in rum. To join, simply purchase a Rum Club Passport from Golden Monkey for $10. This passport entitles members to free entry for all future Melbourne Rum Club sessions.
